would u rather have jason hill, aundrae allison, or laurant robinson as your third round reciever?

in all honesty i would have allison
idk y but he just stands out to me

and dont u think that anderson is too tall for linebacker

Jason Hill in a heart beat. Laurent is a 5th round receiver, Allison is a deep speedy threat. Hill has all the tools and could start post training camp.

He's IMO, Larry Fitzgerald with Speed. He has the route running, speed and power to be a great WR. He can leap, has great hands.. could add 10 lbs and not lose a step. He also has lanky arms and not to mention reminds me a lot of Reggie Wayne. A stronger Reggie Wayne.

No, Keisel and Merriman are relative size, if he can play DE, why can't he play OLB. Keisel and Merriman can, 1 inch isn't going to make a world of difference (although it's a bigger target coming at the QB...).

Those are some pretty good 3-4 OLB and 4-3 Speed Rushers that are considered to be prime 3-4 OLB Guys..

Not only is Anderson faster, and quicker, not to mention has good loose hips.. he's also 6'5/6'6 and weighs 288lbs. which, if he can do the LB drills and is faster, why isn't he good enough to play OLB?

If we transition to a 4-3 we have a DE, if not we have a Jumbo monster OLB.

Yeah, I play WoW too.[/CENTER]

There's a lot of differing reports on Anderson. As we all know straight line speed doesn't mean much for a DE or 3-4 OLB. He has to be able to take blockers head on and disengage quickly, he needs the strength to over power the OT, and the fluidity as an athlete to play in space and standing up. From what I've read those are certain things people aren't sure he can do. At 280 pounds and his strength is being questioned worries me as well, only 22 reps on the bench. Personally I just don't see a 3-4 team taking on such a huge risk, especially with better tweener prospects out there.

Honestly to get a pass rusher as good as Anderson, you scheme around him.

Just some things I read (I don't remember if your an insider on scout or not, but if you are, you probably read this as well).

"The best teams don't draft players to fit their scheme, they draft the best players and build a scheme around them. Look at Dwight Freeney. He's god-awful against the run, but thats why they always have someone run coverage right behind him. Merriman still isn't great against the run or in coverage, but they bring help overtop with Edwards and Jammer. Draft the best players for your needs, and work the scheme around them."

I think thats what we'll do. This draft we can go Purely BPA and still manage to run a hybrid 4-3/3-4. Anderson may have coverage Issues (Again... He's faster than a lot of 3-4 OLB's out there... I don't have their shuttles, but I can tell you Haggans is about worthless in coverage. Anderson's size and speed give him the advantage already.)

I know than just relying on straightline speed, but he also has better recovery speed, explosion, and COD speed than Haggans, and tons of other 3-4 OLB's... and they're still successful.

Kevin Greene was amazing, and I'm sure we had to make up for his pass coverage deficiencies. Thats why you draft better coverage guys for your other LB's...
